bad dizzy rotor?
ok well ive recently done an obd1 conversion to my ls swap, and i was so impressed by the gas milage that i wanted more i guess. so i got an msd cap and blaster 2 coil, hooked it all up. ran great for about a month i guess, until im on my way to work and i come to a stop at a light and my car is sputtering ridiculously, sounds horrible.
so i get to work, leave the car running and get out to pull the plug wires to see which one its not firing on. #4 cylinder. ok its a spark plug right? i get off work and manage to drive it home and i changed out the spark plugs on #4, then all of them when that didnt work. ok well it might be the plug wires (theyre from autozone lol, (lifetime warranty tho)) so i go exchange em and put em on, same old sputtering again.
so i thought it might be the cap, relatively cheap fix i suppose, so i have to order one from jeg's and it gets here and i put it on rewire everything, starts up, runs a lil smoother, i rev it and its still sputtering. for some odd reason i decided to pull the wire from the coil to see if it was working (not a good idea), ouch i found out the hard way there was spark there, i think i smell burnt flesh as i type this lol, hey im not the brightest guy around.
anyways the rotor looks kinda shitty i guess? is this the problem? or is my whole dizzy bad? if its not the rotor im jus gonna throw all the oem stuff bak on to see if it even works. thanks for reading all this mess

well uh thx for the help...i reinstalled the oem stuff and it fired right up and ran great, i think my wires might have been coming loose to the blaster coil from inside the dizzy, probably my whole problem, but o well. works now
